The main problem is the Spynet which is INHERITANTLY insecure. All the fruity governments place all kinds of private information on the Spynet and expect to secure it. LoL

I'll propose a generally cheap solution here and expand on it significantly later. Use radio. Yes, it doesn't allow for transmission on many bands without a governmental license, but the Spynet will soon require a license to even access it as well. Furthermore, a user CAN ALWAYS easily transmit on ANY band of radio IF the user is willing to accept the risk. Personal drones equipped with radio transmission ability allow a very flexible platform for evading authorities and transmitting via radio. The odds of getting caught are almost nil since drones can be flown, placed on high places like buildings of our fascist enemies (let them laser their own property, hah!), and periodically relocated to another location. Personal drones ARE the answer to tyranny for the immediate future.

As far as receiving information in private now with no abilty to snoop, buy a cheap RTL SDR, $25-$30, from http://rtl-sdr.com, a length of 30' of flexible wire and a few connectors to attach the wire to the SDR for an antenna and you're good to go. One doesn't even need an upconverter with rtl-sdr.com's USB version 3 dongle since software can use the Q branch which enables shortwave reception without an upconverter. If a listener wants to maximize the use of this cheap setup, he should consider spending about $50 more for a discone antenna. The total cost of this amazingly effective and cheap setup for receiving MW (AM), HF, VHF (FM), and even higher frequencies into the gigahertz range will be ~ $75, an unbelivable deal for staying informed without ANY possiblity of being watched or recorded into some database.

Actually, I'm NOT an amateur radio operator as I REFUSE to give my SSN to the government in exchange for a license. Now, I certainly have the ABILITY to pass any test, but the government doesn't really care about mere certification of competency as much as it wants to IDENTIFY the amateur.

Why do I pursue radio? Because the infrastructure is FREE, can NOT be easily controlled, i.e. jammed, and totally anonymous if one doesn't transmit. The new digital capability of Digital Radio Mondiale (http://www.drm.og) just adds to the incredible potential of radio. Now, you know why I regard OTA broadcasting very highly, even if the licensed broadcasters are quite poor. I'll repeat. My aforementioned suggestion for entry into the world of radio will be headed by those smarter than average readers. Guaranteed.
